Comments from Management:

Bing Chen, President and CEO of Atlas, commented, "Our team continued to deliver consistent performance and operational excellence in the third quarter."

"Seaspan bolstered its customer partnership with leading global liners by forward fixing 14 operating vessels in the quarter. We continued diligently executing our newbuild program with four deliveries since the beginning of the third quarter, all ahead of schedule, with each successfully commencing their long-term charters. Despite the unprecedented challenges, our dedicated and experienced teams have proven again their reliable execution.  We have now successfully delivered 121 newbuilds since our IPO in 2005."

"APR Energy continued its pivot to quality and predictable cash flow opportunities. Our team successfully completed its 4-month power generation contract with Imperial Irrigation District in the US in September and its Mexicali dry-lease contract in October, with demobilization expected to be completed during the fourth quarter. APR's 44-month contract in Brazil, effective since May 2022, successfully completed installation in this quarter, and its Lifecycle dry-lease contract will continue until early 2023. Lastly, all of APR's turbine assets in Argentina have now been fully demobilized from the country."

"With our focus on creative customer solutions, a dedicated team and relentless pursuit of operational excellence, we remain well positioned to offer predictable financial returns through all market cycles."

Graham Talbot, CFO of Atlas, commented, "Our third quarter performance reflects diligent execution of our business plan."

"Seaspan revenue was maintained due to early delivery of newbuild vessels and higher market rates, offset by planned vessel sales. APR revenue declined due to relatively high utilization in the third quarter of 2021."

"We have continued to grow our backlog by proactively extending charters with customers, adding over $1.1 billion of gross contracted cash flow through 14 extensions during the quarter. We enhanced our capital structure by upgrading a $1.1 billion bank loan financing for newbuild vessels into a $1.5 billion ECA-backed JOLCO financing on improved terms. Alongside the current inflationary environment and macroeconomic headwinds, we remain well positioned with approximately 70% of our interest rate exposure fixed based on total borrowings and preferred shares, and liquidity of $1.3 billion as at quarter end. The reported gain on our derivative instruments is $126.6 million year to date 2022 which highlights the impact of our proactive interest rate exposure management.

On the back of these enhancements, Atlas received its first credit rating during the quarter, achieving a BB+ corporate rating from Kroll Bond Rating Agency, and Seaspan maintained its corporate ratings of BB-, BB, and BB+ after annual review from S&P, Fitch, and Kroll, respectively."

"With a gross contracted cash flow balance of $18.6 billion and our fully financed newbuild program, we are well positioned for through-cycle value creation."

Containership Leasing Developments

Seaspan entered into proactive lease extensions for 14 operating vessels in the third quarter of 2022, adding approximately $1.1 billion in gross contracted cash flow.

In August and September of 2022, Seaspan accepted delivery of its third and fourth 11,800 TEU vessels, each of which commenced a 5-year charter upon delivery, respectively. In October 2022, Seaspan also accepted delivery of another 11,800 TEU vessel and its first 15,000 TEU vessel, each of which commenced a 5-year charter upon delivery.

In May 2022, Seaspan entered into shipbuilding contracts for four 7,700 TEU liquified natural gas dual-fuel containerships which remained subject to certain closing conditions. Due to certain conditions not being fulfilled by the counterparty, the contracts have become null and void. No payments were made by Seaspan in relation to the contract. Seaspan has notified the relevant parties and has reserved its rights to claim against the counterparty in relation to the contracts.

Mobile Power Generation Developments

In August 2022, the last of APR's turbines based at its Matheu plant in Argentina were demobilized from the country. This concludes the successful demobilization of all 14 turbines previously deployed in Argentina. APR is actively maturing opportunities to redeploy these turbines on long-term contracts.

In September and October 2022, APR successfully completed its 4-month Imperial Irrigation District and Mexicali dry-lease contracts, with demobilization of both sites currently underway.

Financing Developments

In October 2022, Seaspan completed its planned upgrade of a previously signed $1.1 billion bank loan financing into a $1.5 billion ECA-Backed JOLCO financing (the "Financing Upgrade"). Proceeds remain intended to finance Seaspan's package of 15 7,000 TEU newbuild vessels. This marks Seaspan's third ECA-JOLCO transaction. The Financing Upgrade increases the proceeds raised and significantly lowers the cost of capital through partnership with Sinosure, a Chinese ECA, and a tranche of fixed-rate capital from Japanese investors. The financing carries a 12-year tenor.

In August 2022, Seaspan received $500.0 million in proceeds pursuant to a sustainability-linked U.S. private placement which was signed in May 2022. The notes were issued on August 3, 2022, and carry a weighted average maturity of approximately 12 years, and a weighted average fixed interest rate of approximately 5.3%. The financing is secured by Seaspan's vessel portfolio financing program. During August, Seaspan partially used proceeds from the financing to pay down approximately $240 million of existing debt under the portfolio financing program, with the remaining proceeds intended to be used to fund capital expenditures, transaction costs, and for other general corporate purposes.

Credit Rating Developments

In the third quarter of 2022, Seaspan's credit ratings from Fitch, S&P, and Kroll were reaffirmed at BB, BB-, and BB+, respectively. Key drivers of reaffirming the ratings included Seaspan's growing levels of unsecured debt and unencumbered assets.

In September 2022, Atlas received its first corporate credit rating of BB+ from Kroll.

Poseidon Acquisition of Atlas

On August 4, 2022, Atlas' Board of Directors received a non-binding proposal letter from Poseidon Acquisition Corp. ("Poseidon"), an entity formed by certain affiliates of Fairfax, certain affiliates of the Washington Family ("Washington"), David Sokol, Chairman of the Board of Atlas, and Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd., and certain of their respective affiliates, to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Atlas, other than common shares owned by Fairfax, Washington, Mr. Sokol and certain executive officers of the Company, for $14.45 cash per common share. The Board of Directors established a Special Committee consisting of independent directors to consider and negotiate the proposal.

In a separate press release issued on November 1, 2022,  Atlas announced that, following the recommendation of the Special Committee and unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, Atlas had entered into a merger agreement with Poseidon pursuant to which Poseidon will acquire Atlas for cash consideration of $15.50 per common share. The transaction, which is subject to approval of holders of a majority of the common shares not owned by affiliates of Poseidon, regulatory approvals and receipt of consents, is expected to close in the first half of 2023.

Distribution

On July 7, 2022, the Board of Directors of Atlas declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.125 per common share. Regular quarterly dividends on the Series D, Series H, Series I and Series J preferred shares were also declared. All dividends were paid on August 1, 2022.

On October 6, 2022, the Board of Directors of Atlas declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.125 per common share. Regular quarterly dividends on the Series D, Series H, Series I and Series J preferred shares were also declared. All dividends were paid on October 31, 2022.

Common Shares Outstanding

As of November 1, 2022, there were 281.3 million common shares outstanding.

Financial Results Summary:

Revenue decrease of 2.7% to $439.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in revenue is primarily related to the Mobile Power Generation segment due to lower asset utilization. Revenue from the Containership Leasing segment increased 2.2% due to vessel deliveries and higher market rates which  was partially offset by lower revenue from the sale of 11 vessels since the fourth quarter of 2021. 

Adjusted EBITDA decrease of 9.7% to $291.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to lower revenue and increased general and administrative expenses related to higher share based compensation and professional fees compared to the prior period, primarily related to the take private proposal.  In 2021 through to May 2022,  the Company recognized a recovery relating to an indemnity claim under acquisition agreement which ended in May 2022. The recovery recognized in the 2021 comparative period was $13.6 million.

FFO Per Share decrease of 23.7% to $0.71 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Funds from operations were lower due to decreased revenue, higher interest and general and administrative expenses and a recovery recognized in the comparative 2021 period related to an indemnity claim made by Atlas relating to its acquisition of APR Energy.  The decrease was partially driven by an increase in diluted share count from the issuance of 25 million shares from the exercise of warrants in April 2022 and the impact of the maximum dilutive effect of the exchangeable notes based on the if-converted method.

Diluted EPS was $0.59 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $0.30 for the same period in 2021.  The increase in diluted EPS was primarily driven by a non-cash gain on derivative instruments during the 2022 period related to changes in the forward interest rate curve, as well as a loss on debt extinguishment that was recognized in the 2021 comparative period primarily related to the repayment of Fairfax notes.

Adjusted Diluted EPS decrease of 27.8% to $0.39 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022,  compared to $0.54 for the same period in 2021. The decrease in adjusted diluted EPS was primarily due to the increase diluted share count.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2022, Atlas had total liquidity of $1,294.3 million, consisting of $594.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $700.0 million of availability under undrawn committed credit facilities. As of September 30, 2022, we also had $6.0 billion of undrawn committed financing related to our newbuild vessels and an unencumbered asset base including 30 vessels with a book value of $1.2 billion.

(1)       

The change in contingent consideration asset relates to the mark to market impact of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of APR Energy. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers of APR agreed to compensate the Company for losses on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction related to cash generated from specified contracts less relevant costs. The sellers' indemnification obligations  ended on April 30, 2022. The sellers of APR further agreed to compensate the Company for losses on sale or disposal of certain fixed asset and inventory items. The value of compensation receivable from the sellers is accounted for as a contingent consideration asset.

(2)       

Loss on foreign currency repatriation relates to losses recognized on cash repatriation from a foreign jurisdiction, where compensation is receivable through the peso contingent asset arrangement. Compensation is made by the sellers in cash or return of previously issued equity, which is offset against the contingent consideration asset when received and therefore is not reflected in the income statement.

(3)       

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06, "Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)", using the modified retrospective method.  As a result of this adoption, the Company recognizes the maximum potential dilutive effect of its exchangeable notes in the calculation of diluted EPS using the if-converted method.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These non-GAAP financial measures, which include FFO, FFO Per Share, Diluted ("FFO Per Share"), Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Diluted ("Adjusted EPS"), Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Operating Net Debt and Total Borrowings, are intended to provide additional information and are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.

FFO and FFO Per Share represent net earnings adjusted for depreciation and amortization, gains/losses on sale, unrealized change in fair value of derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, preferred share dividends accumulated, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its operating performance. FFO and FFO Per Share are useful performance measures because they exclude those items that management believes are not representative of its performance.

FFO and FFO Per Share are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS represent net earnings adjusted for preferred share dividends accumulated, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment, unrealized change in fair value on derivative instruments and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its ongoing performance.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, net earnings per share or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and the closest measure is net earnings. Management believes that these metrics are helpful in providing investors with information to assess the ongoing operations of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest expense and income, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment, write-down and gains/losses on sale, gains/losses on derivative instruments, loss on foreign currency repatriation, change in contingent consideration asset, loss on debt extinguishment, other expenses and certain other items that management believes are not representative of its operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing the Company's results from operations. Management believes that this measure is useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. Management also believes that this performance measure can be useful in comparing its results with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate this measure in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, or any other indicator of the Company's performance required to be reported by GAAP.

Total Borrowings represents long-term debt and other financing arrangements, excluding deferred financing fees.  Operating borrowings represents Total Borrowings less amounts related to vessels under construction.

Net Debt represents Total Borrowings before debt discount and fair value adjustments, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Operating Net Debt represents Net Debt less amounts related to vessels under construction. 

Net Debt and Total Borrowings provide useful information to investors in assessing the Company's leverage. Management believes these measures are useful in assessing the Company's ability to settle contracted debt payments. Management also believes that these leverage measurements can be useful in comparing the Company's position with those of other companies, even though other companies may not calculate these measures in the same way. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Debt and Total Borrowings is the total of long-term debt and other financing arrangements. Net Debt and Total Borrowings are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to long-term debt and other financing arrangements, or any other indicator of the Company's financial position required to be reported by GAAP.
